Market_Desc: Undergraduate and graduate students on Computing and Internet related degrees; web software developers, web designers and project managers Special Features: Defines an important new vocational discipline, popular with students" Offers teachers a viable alternative to teaching outmoded software engineering (a market of 100,000+ students)" Covers business aspects, market drivers and site design reflecting interdisciplinary influences on web application development" Complements existing technology-oriented books with an engineering approach About The Book: This book seeks to motivate students in this new discipline, using concepts, methods, techniques and tools to demonstrate how to design, implement and test web applications. The book also demonstrates the distinctions between software engineering and web engineering: The shorter lead times that Web Engineering has compared to its software counterpart; whilst demonstrating the rapid prototyping and agile methods of development needed to meet these criteria. Web Engineering also features a constant focus on interactivity, with a far greater emphasis on multimedia than its software counterpart. The book highlights the importance of the HCI and interface aspects of Web Engineering, and their importance to the visual nature of the medium.Yet the text also also highlights the need to examine and re-use the body of knowledge found within Software Engineering. This book demonstrates how to use that knowledge within the web environment, in order to achieve a highly disciplined and methodical means of producing web based software.

This textbook mainly addresses beginners and readers with a basic knowledge of object-oriented programming languages like Java or C#, but with little or no modeling or software engineering experience – thus reflecting the majority of students in introductory courses at universities. Using UML, it introduces basic modeling concepts in a highly precise manner, while refraining from the interpretation of rare special cases. After a brief explanation of why modeling is an indispensable part of software development, the authors introduce the individual diagram types of UML (the class and object diagram, the sequence diagram, the state machine diagram, the activity diagram, and the use case diagram), as well as their interrelationships, in a step-by-step manner. The topics covered include not only the syntax and the semantics of the individual language elements, but also pragmatic aspects, i.e., how to use them wisely at various stages in the software development process. To this end, the work is complemented with examples that were carefully selected for their educational and illustrative value. Overall, the book provides a solid foundation and deeper understanding of the most important object-oriented modeling concepts and their application in software development. An additional website offers a complete set of slides to aid in teaching the contents of the book, exercises and further e-learning material.

The World Wide Web has a massive and permanent influence on our lives. Economy, industry, education, healthcare, public administration, entertainment - there is hardly any part of our daily lives which has not been pervaded by the Internet. Accordingly, modern Web applications are fully-fledged, complex software systems, and in order to be successful their development must be thorough and systematic. This book presents a new discipline called Web Engineering taking a rigorous interdisciplinary approach to the development of Web applications, covering Web development concepts, methods, tools an.

Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt die Grundlagen der objektorientierten Modellierung anhand von UML und bietet eine kompakte Einführung in die fünf Diagramme Klassendiagramm, Anwendungsfalldiagramm, Zustandsdiagramm, Sequenzdiagramm und Aktivitätsdiagramm. Diese decken die wesentlichen Konzepte ab, die für die durchgängige objektorientierte Modellierung in einem kompletten Softwareentwicklungsprozess benötigt werden. Besonderer Wert wird auf die Verdeutlichung des Zusammenspiels unterschiedlicher Diagramme gelegt. Die präsentierten Konzepte werden anhand von illustrativen Beispielen erklärt.

Das Buch gibt einen hochaktuellen Einstieg mit Tiefgang in die objektorientierte Entwicklung von Informationssystemen. Das Ziel des Buches ist es, unabhängig von einer konkreten Methode die grundlegenden Konzepte, Darstellungsmittel, Verfahrensschritte und Techniken zur objektorientierten Modellierung von Informationssystemen aufzuzeigen. Der Leser lernt objektorientierte Modellierungskonzepte und Techniken zu verstehen, eine aufgabenspezifische Bewertung einer konkreten Methode durchzuführen und gegebenenfalls für seine eigenen Probleme einzusetzen. Zahlreiche Beispiele veranschaulichen die unmittelbare Einsetzbarkeit des vermittelten Wissens. Das Buch bietet darüber hinaus eine aktuelle Orientierungshilfe zum Verständnis der umfangreichen objektorientierten Methodenlandschaft.
